Book excerpt: At Odds with the Gods: A Series of Rants' by Elaine Kingsbury By: Elaine Kingsbury Elaine Kingsbury’s first book is an honest look at the human condition as put into place by “the gods,” who apparently set it in motion intentionally by their willful and deliberate design. It is an outspoken, bold look at human behavior and appearance in modern day society. At times comical, and at times quite matter-of-fact, At Odds with the Gods is a playfully irreverent rant against “the gods” for all that they somehow allowed to go horribly wrong at “The Drawing Board.” Her heartfelt rants and complaints will resonate with many who have at least experienced the same thoughts and observations, but perhaps have never expressed them. Her book insists on the healthiness and necessity of ventilating. It is as if we are all being given permission to GO AHEAD AND RANT!
